Sunderland have reportedly set an estimated valuation of £50 million on striker Brian Brobbey ahead of the January transfer window. Manchester United are monitoring the striker market and have received indications of the price tag, though they have not yet made a concrete approach. Sunderland are in a strong negotiating position under his contract through 2029 and are under no pressure to sell.

Manchester United previously signed striker Benjamin Šeško from RB Leipzig for £73.7 million in 2025, but may seek reinforcements if Joshua Zirkzee departs following interest from Everton and other clubs. Brobbey has impressed this season with standout performances including a hat-trick against Manchester City, though questions remain following his return from injury.
